There is a vast quantity of the human about us and we are
not in the least bashiul about telling it, we are partic-
ularly human in the mittter of wanting all the trade
that we are- able to secure. We have no aVersion to
the marmon of anrighteousness, we never draw long
faces at the sight of the lucre, there is not an honest
dollar that comes our way that does not have -,a most
enthusiastic welcome. You will notice that the dollar
must be honest, as well as the way of inducing the
dollar our way. Now w0 are out for a reasonable pro,
fit, to put the matter in another way, -and we have no
bogus story about selling goods at ,or -below the cost
of the same, in fact we never want to have either for
that matter. You will find us, hoWever, year in and
year out, steady, reliable, civil, ready and willing at
all times to do all that is in our power to serve your
interests. There are people Who affirm by our ways
of doing business, and there are others who do the op-
posite. We are not aware 'which class you belong to,
but give us a fair opportunity to pitove that we are in
a position of the largest 4rict1y fur and clothing
store in the western pgt of the pro-vince.
Furs are the stronghold of this store, we have no trash to
sell, every article of fur is a 'worthy one, Whether it be
, a ladies' fur jacket, capecap, muff, ruff, caperine,
storm collar or gauntlet, or the big stock of all men's
fur coats. We 'cant COOD, Russian calf, wallaby,
Marmot, bear, Corsican lamb, Tasmania and Australi-

with the or eper I told you of, and the
gardens with green grass and flowers.
We thought Windsor was quaint and old,
but Eton is more so, and I wish I could tell
you about the old places in such a way that
you could at least imagine how they look.
The tiniest little low roofed shops and
houses, juke., l'ke you see in pictures, seemed
never to have been changed since they were
built, and th re were so many narrow lanes
and wider eo reel, and about the latter were
pretty little ttages with diamond paned
windows and sometimes the daintiest white
muslin °urea a across them. It was after
lecture time, so the little narrow street
seemed full o Eton boys with their short
jackets, broa white collar. and top hats.
They looked just like they do in the Boy's
Own Paper. The older boys, when too big
for the jack t, wear a black, tailed coat,
standup collar and white' tie, but always
the top hat.
After we p seed the shops we came to the
residential pa t of the town and the college.
We had only ime to go into the quadrangle
and look at t e great old buildings and the
chapel. The latter is very fine, but we did
not go insid . Here, as elsewhere, there
was the pret y ivy and creeper on the
walls.
We met a number of lads going to play
football, not n top hats, but peak caps,
'knickerbocker and jerseys. They looked
as if they ha a pretty good time, and we
afterwards ea a great crowd of them play-
ing on the reen opposite the buildings.
We walked al ng the river bank for a little
way just bef re sundown, saw some men

conclusion th n that we could stay quite
Comfortably i. Windsor for a week, but
we hadn't a eek to stay, only a day, so

It was nearly ark when we left Windsor,

castle before e left the town.
